NetBSD/i386 1.0

NetBSD/i386 1.0 was the third formal release of
NetBSD/i386.
It included support for many more devices and
for better device autoconfiguration than did NetBSD 0.9, and the i386
was one of the ports for which shared libraries were supported.
Also, the i386-specific portions of the kernel were made
significantly more robust than they had been in NetBSD 0.9, and some
of them were made quite a bit faster in the process.

Charles Hannum was the maintainer of NetBSD/i386 at the time of
release 1.0, but Chris Demetriou built the release.

Supported Hardware

The minimal configuration for a NetBSD/i386 1.0 system
requires 4M of RAM and about 40M of disk space. For a full
installation (including source and X11), at least 8M of RAM and
200M of disk space are recommended.

Devices supported by NetBSD/i386 1.0 include:

Floppy controllers

MFM, EDSI, IDE and RLL hard disk controllers

Adaptec AHA-174x

Adaptec AIC-6260- and AIC-6360-based boards, including the Adaptec
AHA-152x and the SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter. Note that you cannot
boot from these boards if they do not have a boot ROM, and many do not.
